I have had both Vernon Wells and Aubrey Huff on my teams each of the past two years, and was personally expecting improvements from both of them next year, as both players started awfully slow last year but finished well... In a 12 team 5 x 5, where do you predict these two should fall?

Huff really turned it on at the end of last year and I have him projected higher than Wells. Wells is young but his drop in slugging and BA were alarming. It's not going to get any easier without Delgado in the lineup and Rios not showing any power yet. Wells may repeat last year's numbers. In a keeper I like Wells a lot but in a redraft he is not a top tier OF for me this year.

I'm a little lower on Wells than Huff. I'm expecting them to move in 12 team 5x5 between the 6th-8th rounds. Who knows, maybe people will still be reaching for Wells in the 4th and 5th based on the promise that he held after the '03 season.

IMO Huff is gonna have a better year than Wells and with that 3b eligibility he's the more valuable player.

Bluto: Over? Did you say over? NOTHING is over until WE decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL, NO!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.

I'd take Huff without question. He's a 300-30-100-100 guy with good position flexibility. He had a down year last year and his numbers were still good. Plus, he plays on a young team with some good support (Crawford).

I am the Master. Don't question the Master. Just do what he says and be proud.

The Ray's line-up is crap, but the Jays might even be worse. Keep in mind that Wells had a chronic calf problem for almost all of last year, which may have hindered his performance. On balance, I think Huff may give slightly better value this year, even more so when you consider position.

Wells was such a bust last year. Towards the end pulled the trigger...slightly. Not enough for me to be pulling my hair out about it as I sit him on my bench waiting for him to get hot. Huff, I feel, is a better fantasy value because (1) DRays line up is not crap. Tons of speed and should get a bunch of RBI's because of it (2) he has shown more signs of consistancy than Wells over an entire year.
